My journey as a woman and mother of young children who is dealing with metastatic inflammatory breast cancer

Never tired of hearing survivor stories

particularly inspirational ones in a book written by someone who I am blessed to call my friend. The book is “From Incurable to Incredible: Cancer Survivors Who Beat the Odds” by Tami Boehmer. In February 2008, shortly after celebrating five years cancer free, she had a recurrence and was now a stage iv cancer survivor. This book is filled with the stories of people who have overcome a grim cancer prognosis, some of whom remain cancer free, all of whom have already beaten the odds. Her website is Miracle Survivors: inspiration and information for cancer thrivers

I met Tami almost exactly a year ago, at a picnic being held by The Pink Ribbon Girls, a breast cancer survivors group, and Tami was talking about this book that she was writing. Eventually she was my roommate at two different conferences and she flattered me by asking me to proof read her book.

The book is published, available online and in some stores and she has made appearances on several local television stations. Tonight she had a book signing. My husband and I went over for awhile and I got to meet and talk with one of the survivors featured in the book. Three of the survivors who are in the book were there tonight and Tami asked each of them to say a few words. It is always inspirational, motivational, and just fills my heart with joy to hear from people who have kicked this. I am so proud of Tami and I am so grateful I have met her, despite the circumstances.

Tami – I wish you much success!

If you know someone who needs to hear stories of hope, buy Tami’s book for them.
